Due to the transparent appearance of the solar modules, open, light-flooded, yet protected areas have been created. The PV cells are completely visible as an instrument to communicate environmental consciousness.

The BIPV modules are estimated to produce around 45 MWh per year.

The 258 BIPV modules (eFORM clear) were project-specifically manufactured by SUNOVATION, in 20 different sizes. They are glass-glass modules, made of high efficiency PV cells and laminated safety glass.

The initiator of this project, an ecologically committed operator of a major gas station chain, aimed to transfer the subject of environmental consciousness into the market for fossil energy. The assignment here was to design an exclusive, design-oriented roofing solution with integrated photovoltaic, aimed to incorporate and communicate into the world of gas stations the ideas "renewable energy" and "climate protection".
